Sat. Oct. 22nd Lost Wages here we come

It was a very brisk morning today when we got up in Jackpot.  Hubby had a shower but I was too cold to walk all the way to the restrooms (read that 'lazy').  I dressed in layers.  Fleece pants, short sleeve pullover, sweatshirt, my favourite purple hoodie and lastly, my garage sale found jacket with a lining and rain repellent outer layer.  It took me a long time to warm up.

Driving south to Wells there was a dusting of snow on the mountain ridges.  It took an hour to drive to Wells from Jackpot.  Two more hours to reach Ely.  We've stopped a few times at the Prospector RV park when we've had the rig.  It is very basic but it has clean washrooms inside the hotel.  Dusting of snow on the mountain tops here too.

We stopped in Ely to gas up and grab coffee.  Didn't have breakfast today either.  Met a lady in the store who was from Vernon, heading to Yuma to park their trailer and then drive on down to Rincon de Guayabitos and renting a condo there for the winter.  Small world that's for sure.  This was another very hot, long day driving and we finally got to Las Vegas about 3:30 pm.

We are staying at the Hitchin' Post RV park tonight.  Sandy and Mike from Westbank stay here when they drive down to Mexico.

It is ok here.  It is out of the way of the casinos and it has lovely washroom and shower facilities and a nice pool that hubby and I took advantage of before he made supper.  We unhitched the car and drove down to Fremont street for a couple of hours after supper; lost money in the casinos; watched the light show (Jim Morrison), dodged the crazies that filled the street (Hallowe'en isn't until next week I thought) and were back at the rig by 9:30.  I wish now that I had taken the camera with me to town.  I'm catching up on my blog and I do have a picture to add:

Hobo wanted everyone to see that we are here.
Buenos tardes mis amigos
